“…One study reported that one in five (22%) undergraduate students suffered from headaches after consuming energy drinks to boost their study processes [ 54 ]. Additionally, other published research highlighted a high prevalence of headache (46–91%) among students taking health-related courses [ 52 , 55 , 56 ]. The frequency and severity of headaches can lead to a negative impact on the academic performance and future work performance of the students.…”

Stress, anxiety, and depression (SAD) have a negative impact on the learning and academic performance of university students. Hence, this study aimed to determine the prevalence, as well as the risk factors associated with SAD among a cohort of students pursuing undergraduate degree courses in health sciences. This is part of the strategy in building a healthy nation. A questionnaire containing socio-demographic factors and the short version of Depression, Anxiety, and Stress Scale-21 (DASS-21) was used to assess the likelihood of psychological distress. Logistic regression analysis was conducted to determine the risk factors of SAD. In total, 449 students completed the questionnaire (93.9% response rate). Of these, 65% had stress, 85.1% had anxiety and 51.4% had depression. Most cases of stress (74.6%) and depression (66.2%) were of normal-to-mild level, while 74.6% of them showed moderate-to-extremely severe anxiety. There was a statistically significant association between stress score and the year of study. In the regression analysis, poor sleep quality and fatigue were risk factors of anxiety and depression, whereas low-grade fever and frequent headaches were risk factors for stress and anxiety. Stress, anxiety, and depression scores were significantly higher among students studying medical imaging. A substantial proportion of health science students are suffering from SAD. This study recommends screening and close monitoring of the above-mentioned predictors and the formulation of comprehensive intervention strategies for students with SAD.

“…15 Various studies have also shown high prevalence of headache among students of health profession with a range from 46% to 91%. 7,12,13,16,24 The discrepancy in prevalence rate might be due to variation in methodology or study population or real difference. Migraine had a higher prevalence (33.3%) than tension type headache (19.2%) in our study.…”

Background: Headache is a common health problem among health professional students which may negatively affect their academic performance and quality of life. The study aimed to determine the prevalence, pattern, associated psychosocial factors and treatment seeking behavior regarding headache among the students of health profession. Methods: The cross sectional study was undertaken during April-September 2016 involving 339 students studying medical, dental and nursing health sciences in KIIT University, Bhubaneswar, India. A semi-structured questionnaire was used to collect all relevant information. Numeric Pain Rating Scale (NPRS) and Headache Attributed Lost Time (HALT) index were used to assess subjective perception regarding intensity of pain over the previous 24 h and disability burden over the last 3 months respectively. Results: The one year prevalence of headache was 73.1%, of which migraine and tension type headache were 33.3% and 19.2% respectively. In majority (93.2%) of the students, the intensity of pain was mild to moderate. More than one third (37.1%) of students reported that headache was affecting their family, social and leisure activities with moderate-severe impact indicating high need of medical care. Logistic regression analysis revealed that female gender (adjusted OR: 2.67), problem in falling asleep (adjusted OR: 2.86), problem in staying asleep (adjusted OR: 11.11), soft drink consumption (adjusted OR: 2.22) and self dissatisfaction with own health (adjusted OR: 1.89) were significantly associated with headache. Conclusion: High prevalence of headache among the students of health profession necessitates designing of appropriate strategies to improve the quality of life in this population.
